🧠 Intelligent Process Analysis AI Powered

Let AI analyze your plant data and provide optimization recommendations

🔮 AI Insights & Recommendations

Click an analysis type above to generate AI-powered insights based on your current plant data.

💡 Process Optimization 92% Confidence

Based on current F/M ratio and MLSS levels, consider increasing RAS rate by 8-12% to improve settling and reduce SVI.

⚡ Energy Saving Opportunity 87% Confidence

DO levels are consistently above setpoint. Reducing blower output by 15% during 2AM-6AM could save approximately $2,400/month.

⚠️ Predictive Alert 78% Confidence

SVI trend indicates potential filamentous bulking in 7-10 days. Consider implementing chlorination or nutrient adjustment.

📚 SRT Guidelines by Process Type

Process Type	SRT (days)	F/M (lb/lb/d)	Notes
High-Rate AS	2-4	0.4-1.0	BOD removal only
Conventional AS	4-8	0.2-0.4	Good BOD removal
Nitrification	8-15	0.1-0.2	Complete nitrification
Extended Aeration	15-30	0.05-0.1	Low sludge production
MBR Systems	15-50	0.05-0.15	High MLSS operation

🌡️ Min SRT for Nitrification:

20°C: 4-5 days
15°C: 6-8 days
10°C: 10-15 days
5°C: 20+ days

⚠️ Common Issues:

SRT too low: Poor nitrification
SRT too high: Pin floc, high DO demand
